The commission recently received funding from the Polk County Community Foundation to begin planting trees and do other landscaping along the county’s entrances. (photos submitted)

• Trees(Continued from page 1)


Planting Project was first envi-sioned by the Polk County Ap-pearance Commission last year to improve the aesthetics of the entrances of Polk County.

The Mills Street project will include planting more than 40 trees from I-26 to Walker Street, along the town’s I-26 business corridor. The species of trees include 16 maples, eight cherry trees and 18 oaks.

The PCCF awarded the town a $10,000 grant for the project, along with funding also being given by the DOT for the pur-chase of trees.

“I am very pleased with the project,” said appearance com-mission chair Joe Cooper. “The good news is the partnership with the Town of Columbus, the county’s appearance commis-sion, the DOT and the commu-nity foundation.”

The trees will be planted along rights of way owned by the state in front of businesses and will be

mature trees, Kanipe said.The appearance commission,

Saluda and the DOT also recently completed a beautification proj-ect in Saluda. The appearance commission presented a certifi-cate this summer to the DOT in appreciation for partnering with Saluda to accomplish that project.

Cooper said next the appear-ance commission is hoping to improve the entrances to Tryon, including coming from Colum-bus and at the state line. Cooper said the most important to the commission is the state line entrance, as it is a gateway into North Carolina. No funding has

yet been awarded for the Tryon project.

The appearance commission’s Cooper and Mark Byington pre-sented the initial project to county commissioners last year. Bying-ton, who is a landscape architect

with Innocenti-Webel created the drawings for the project.

The total enhancement project includes plantings and trees com-ing off the U.S. 74 exit in Colum-bus and the entrances into Tryon. Byington and Cooper presented before and after pictures and drawings to commissioners last year to show what the county’s entrances could look like. The ap-pearance commission at the time

also said they were looking into ideas to work with property own-ers, especially larger stores, to do plantings within parking lots.

Byington said it’s not just about the appearance, but other benefits, including reducing storm water runoff, improved water quality, increasing ground-water recharge, slowing traffic and reducing air pollution. The plantings will also help improve economic stability by attracting businesses and tourists, Byington told commissioners.

Laval, Brown play Celtic music at Lanier Library

Violinist Jamie Laval and bass guitarist David Brown recently presented a concert of Celtic music at the Lanier Library in Tryon.

After a short introduction by Lynn Montgomery, president, Laval entertained with music, humor and a history of Celtic music from Brittany in France, Scotland and Ireland to Quebec. More than 80 library members and guests attended the noon recital and approximately 100 attended that evening.

Laval is considered one of the best in the world and has won the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Championship. Dressed in a kilt (tartan) belonging to the Campbell clan of Argyle, he and Brown played everything from bagpipe songs to village dance tunes to soul-ful ballads to a sit-down tap dance.

Laval’s fiddle/violin was made by Kurt Widenhouse, an interna-tionally acclaimed violin maker (luthier), in Belmont, N.C.

Many of those who attended closed their eyes, tapped their foot and bobbed their heads to the music.

Laval lives in Asheville and confessed this was his first visit to Tryon, but not his last. Library officials said they look forward to his return.

Both programs were sponsored by the Kirby Endowment Fund and the Polk County Commu-nity Foundation. This and future programs are free and everyone is welcome. Future events can be found at www.lanierlib.org/calendar-of-events.

Alexander’s Ford certification ceremony set for Oct. 5On the 231st anniversary of the

trek by the frontier militia chas-ing the British-led forces from Western North Carolina (WNC), Polk County and National Park Service officials will formally dedicate and certify Alexander’s Ford on the Green River and the path leading to it as part of the Overmountain National Victory Historic Trail.

The public ceremony will take place at the trail entrance adjacent to Gray’s Chapel Church near the Polk-Rutherford County line at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 5.

“This is one of the most sig-nificant portions of the trail,” said Paul Carson, superintendent of the Overmountain National Victory Historic Trail. “It is the last overnight camping place for the Overmountain men in their quest to drive the Loyalist forces from WNC. It was here that they learned where the British-led force was. It is here today that a portion of the old original co-lonial road is still visible.”

From Alex-ander ’s Ford, t h e L i b e r t y Men traveled 40 hours without sleep through a cold rain and s o u n d l y d e -feated the Loyalists at Kings Mountain in a battle that Thomas Jefferson called “the turn in the tide of success.” Sir Henry Clin-ton, the British commander in the colonies, lamented that the defeat

at Kings Mountain was “the first link in a chain of evils, the loss of America.”

The Alexander’s Ford project was developed under the leader-ship of Ambrose Mills III, chair of the Polk County Economic Development Commission. Mills is a direct descendant of Colonel Ambrose Mills, who led the Tory militia from this area and had his home a few miles upstream of the ford.

“We are delighted that this im-portant part of our history is pre-served so that current and future generations know and appreciate the sacrifices that were made by our forefathers in making America a free nation,” Mills said, noting that some of his ancestors were also Whigs who championed in-dependence. “And for us in Polk County, it is important to know that richness of our local heritage

in that struggle where brother fought brother and neighbor fought neigh-bor. Fortunate-ly, we all came together after-wards to build a great country.”

He added, “We appreciate the board of di-rectors of the Bradley Foun-dation and the

board of county commissioners for making it possible for our citizens to enjoy such a pristine historical and natural preserve.”

The Overmountain National Victory Historic Trial stretches

220 miles from Abington, Va., to Kings Mountain, where Lib-erty Men from both sides of the mountains wiped out a thousand-man Loyalist force in a battle that significantly altered the course of the war.

With grants and contributions, Polk County acquired the 162-acre property from the Bradley Foundation earlier this year. The trail will traverse 1.5 miles of the Marjorie M. and Lawrence R. Bradley Nature Preserve. It will be managed by the county’s parks and recreation department under strict guidelines designed to protect the natural beauty and flora of the area.

In addition to Carson, Mills and local officials, participating in the certification ceremonies will be members of the Overmountain

Victory Trail Association, who since 1985 have retraced the steps of the mountain freedom fighters.

Dressed in period costume, the reenactors tell thousands of school children about the frontier hardships, ingenuity, dedication and devotion needed for sur-vival in 1780. They will conduct hands-on demonstrations for Polk County students for several hours prior to the 3 p.m. certification ceremonies.

To reach the Bradley Nature Preserve and Overmountain Na-tional Victory Historic Trail, turn south on Palmer Road from N.C. 108 East near the Rutherford County line. Drive 1.5 miles to Gray’s Chapel where the road ends, just past Abrams-Moore Rd.

Wolverines lose by an edge to Mitchell Mountaineers 28-27

by Joey Millwood

The Landrum football team got off on the right foot in region play on Friday night.

The Cardinals dominated Whitmire on both sides of the ball in the 45-0 victory. The defense shone as the Cardinals held the Wolverines to just 87 yards total, including just nine yards passing.

Offensively, the Cardinals spread the ball around evenly. Six different players split up 156 rushing yards. Cole McDowell ran for 39 yards and Brandon Cannon ran for 46. Aaron Bry-ant ran for 31 and Jojo Wilkins ran for 21.

Landrum’s first two touch-downs were two strikes through the air for more than 30 yards. Cannon connected with Mc-Dowell for a 32-yard touchdown

In a virtual repeat of last year’s heartbreaking road trip to Bakers-ville, the Polk County Wolverines were once again dealt their first conference defeat of the season by the Mitchell Mountaineers, this time at the Little Big House on the campus of Polk County High School Friday night, Sept. 30.

As with last season’s contest, the difference in the game turned out to be a blocked extra point, as a fired-up Mitchell squad downed the Wolverines by the narrowest

of margins. The game, expected by most

to be a close contest between top-notch mountain powerhouses, was all Polk for the first 18 minutes of the ballgame. The Wolverines jumped out to a 21 point lead on first quarter touchdown runs by Cary Littlejohn and Alec Philpott, with Philpott adding another rush-ing TD midway through the second quarter.

However, with just 90 seconds left in the first half, Mitchell QB Justin Hughes, the leading rusher

in the mountains, broke off a 25-yard touchdown run to erase the goose egg from the Mountaineer side of the scoreboard and cut the Wolverine lead at the intermission to 14 points.

The Mountaineers continued to chip away at the Wolverine lead in the second half. With just under six minutes left in the third quar-ter, Mitchell’s Troy Self powered into the end zone from 7 yards out to cut the Polk lead to a single touchdown.

Then, less than a minute later, a

Polk County fumble at their own 35 handed the ball back to the surging Mountaineers deep in Wolverine territory. With Mitchell threatening to even the score, Polk’s defense came up large, stopping the Moun-taineers on a big 4th and 5 to turn the ball back over to the Wolverine offense on downs.

Polk added to its lead with 7:54 left in the fourth, as Littlejohn raced 10 yards for his second TD of the evening to put the Wolverines up by 13.

in the first quarter. He connected again with Clark Edmonds for a 30-yard strike.

In the second quarter, T.J. Fincher caught a pass from

Cannon and took it to the house for a 75-yard touchdown. Can-non ran the second touchdown of the second quarter in from 4 yards. Wilkins followed that with a 2-yard touchdown on the ground.

Cannon tossed a touchdown

However, in an almost surreal repeat of last season, Polk’s bid to tack on the extra point failed as Mitchell’s Self broke through the line to block Philpott’s attempt.

Following the huge play, the shift in momentum was palpable, and the Mountaineers were able to find the end zone twice in the final five minutes of the game and eke out the one-point victory.

“I’ll say this for them – they didn’t panic,” said Polk head coach Bruce Ollis of Mitchell’s efforts. “They got down and kept doing what they do, and did it well. We had some opportunities to make some plays and we didn’t.”

Littlejohn wound up with 28 carries for 216 yards on the night, while Philpott passed for 99 yards and carried for another 41.

With the loss, Polk County falls to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in the WHC, putting the Wolverines in a three-way tie for second place with Mitchell and Owen.

The Wolverines hit the road this week, heading up to Newland to take on the Avery Vikings (4-3, 1-2), who lost to undefeated Hendersonville by 20 points Friday night.

in the third quarter to Jacob Lindsey for 30 yards.

Bryant capped the scoring in the fourth quarter on a 35-yard touchdown run.

Cannon finished 11-for-16 with 247 yards. Fincher had the one reception for 75 yards.

Lindsey finished with three catches for 67 yards. McDowell caught three balls for 64 yards. Edmonds had three catches for 40 yards.

The Cardinals (5-1, 1-0) will be on the road again next week against St. Joseph’s.

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

Set Sail With Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus, the son of a wool merchant and weaver, was born in Genoa, Italy. At the young age of 14, he set sail for the first time. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain became interested in his very adventuresome voyage ideas. On Au-gust 2, 1492, Columbus set sail in search of the East Indies. The voyage was financed by the King and Queen. Columbus and a 90-man crew traveled aboard three ships on the trip to the New World. The ships were named The Nina, The Pinta, and the larg-est ship which Columbus commanded, The Santa Maria. Columbus never actually arrived on the mainland of the Americas, which he believed to be the Indies, until his third voyage to the new world. On Christmas Day of 1492, the Santa Maria sank off the coast of Hispaniola. On January 16, 1493, Columbus set sail back for Spain aboard the Nina, arriving there on March 4 of the same year. His second voyage departed for the New World in September 1493 with 17 ships. The ships carried people and sup-plies to begin colonization. Columbus would sail back and forth between the New and Old Worlds two more times before his death in Valladolid, Spain, on May 20, 1506. Columbus Day is celebrated in honor of the voyages that Columbus made. Although he was not the first person to discover the Americas, he is recognized as one of the most-important contributors to colonization.

Contemporary portrait exhibit opens at Upstairs Artspace

The first contemporary portrait exhibit in the his-tory of the Upstairs Art-space opens Friday, Oct. 7, with a public reception on Saturday, Oct. 8, 5 - 8 p.m. (during the Tryon Gallery Trot).

Just before the recep-tion, from 4 - 5 p.m, is the “Walk and Talk” tour of the art conducted by exhibiting artists.

Tit led “Lines and Lives of the Face,” the new exhibit presents an overview of modern American portraiture as created by 14 artists from the Carolinas and New York City. They are: Kevin Clinton, Paul Flint, David Slone and Tim Speaker of Greenville, S.C.; Mathew Curran of Raleigh N.C.; James Esber of Brooklyn, N.Y.; Alli Good, Ursula Gullow, Taiyo La Paix, Brian Mashburn and Phillip McGuire of Ashe-ville, N.C.; Dawn Hunter of Columbia, S.C.; Francesco Lom-bardo of Marshall, N.C., and Bob Trotman of Shelby, N.C.

All are well established in the genre of portraiture and work in numerous mediums, includ-ing paint, graphite, pen and ink, plasticine, wood, clay and mixed media.

Portraiture has been divided into two camps for hundreds of years, but particularly so begin-ning in the 20th century. On the one hand are portraits that at-tempt a photographic likeness; many of these are commissioned works. The other portraiture explores and exploits the face as a window to life experience, emotion, personality and soul. Such portraits are often as much about the artist as the artist’s sub-ject and can reveal a relationship between the two. Famous portrait artists in modern times include Pablo Picasso, Alice Neel, Frida Kahlo, Lucien Freud, David Hockney and Chuck Close.

“Lines and Lives of the Face” includes a wide range of contem-porary portraiture’s infinite vari-ety. Examples are Slone’s wall of 36 kindergarten yearbook im-ages; Speaker’s self-portraits of a time when he was temporarily blind; Gullow’s masked “zom-bies”; La Paix’s fantasy lover; McGuire’s use of negative space and Trotman’s carved heads.

Also on exhibit is“This is not a portrait,” a community art project consisting of drawings of Osama bin Laden rendered by 25 local artists and non-artists. The proj-ect is part of a much bigger one that began last fall in New York and has generated more than 160 drawings, all made from the same template created by “Faces” artist James Esber.

Baseball caps decorated with original portraits by Alli Good, another “Faces” artist, will be for sale to benefit the Upstairs.

The exhibit continues through Nov. 19. The Upstairs Artspace is open Tuesday - Saturday, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. and by appointment. For further information call 828-859-2828.

Anyone can blow a bubble with practiceBlowing bubbles with bubble

gum is a forgotten art form. You have to be very careful in how you go about it.

It may take several days, weeks or even years (if you’re a slow learner) to pull off this play-ful childhood trick. It is definitely a learned feat; most people don’t pick it up right away, especially if you’re my kids.

I actually bought some bubble gum the other day. We hardly ever get this kind of a treat in our house, so I thought the kids would get a kick out of having some good ol’ fashioned bubble gum. Mission accomplished.

We sat around for some time exercising our bubble-making art forms. I am an accomplished bubble blower when it comes down to it.

My kids, however, are begin-ners. Putting me up against them with a piece of bubble gum isn’t very fair, but it is fun. They are quite amazed at what daddy can do with a piece of gum, a tongue and a soft breath to create a bubble.

A very big bubble, that if I play my cards just right, ends up all over my newborn beard. That, of course, brings a chuckle.

I didn’t always know how to

blow a good bubble. It has taken a lot of practice.

Several sticks of gum were used with me trying to nail down a good round bubble. I really had to overcome the bubbles that come out of the side, or pop pre-maturely. As we all know, those can really get on one’s nerves.

Some may think I must have shed blood, sweat and tears to attain this high quality of bub-

b le -b lowing expertise. No, not really.

In fact, there are countless others out there who know how to b low the

same bubble as Mr. Big League Chew here.

All they needed was the right gum, a little teaching and prac-tice, and the bubbles just start coming.

My son, who is 10, is starting to blow quarter-size bubbles be-fore they end up going flat. He’s in the beginning stages of getting the hang of it.

My daughter, who is a bit younger at 7, is blowing abso-lutely nothing. I may have seen a pea size bubble appear once, but I can’t totally be certain.

Everyone starts somewhere. Victory doesn’t happen over-night. We have all heard these expressions. My kids know it,

and I know it. They are truly amazed that I

know how to blow a bubble big enough to pop it over my face, but they also understand that they will be able to blow them that big in due time. That is, if we continue to poison them with sugary gum.

We didn’t walk out of the womb. We didn’t start talking the day we were born. No one really knew how to play the game of life the moment they graduated from school. It’s good to constantly remind ourselves that we all start somewhere.

All things are possible. Any-one can learn how to do anything they want.

From the most challenging of jobs to blowing bubbles with some extremely hard chewing gum, it just takes practice and persistence.

Two qualities we constantly try to instill in our kids as they learn new and more challenging things on a daily basis in school. Also, qualities I remind myself to hold onto, because they really never stop being there.

Mounted patrol preview party Oct. 6

The Mounted Patrol Partners (MPP), a group of volunteers who wish to contribute time and energy to support the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Mounted Patrol, will host a preview party Thursday, Oct. 6, at Giardini Trattoria Pavilion, Columbus. Proceeds from the event will go to help pay for the mounted patrol’s equipment.

Mounted patrol members provide their own horses, trailers, saddle and some of the uniform. The rest of the required tack will be acquired through fundraising efforts such as this preview party, along with grant applications.

A frequently asked question concerning the qualifications for the Polk County Mounted Patrol is, “How much training will my horse require?” The short answer is a lot.

Just ask any of the 15 can-didates who are training on a regular monthly schedule in preparation for the upcoming 50-hour, week-long training pro-gram. The training program will be conducted by the Mounted Police Training Academy, the only accredited mounted police academy in the nation. Only those applicants who success-

fully complete this training will be deemed suitable for the Polk County Sheriff’s Mounted Patrol, an all-volunteer group.

Every equine discipline re-quires specific training and skills, from hunter/jumpers, barrel racing, endurance riders, show jumpers and trail riders to dres-sage. For mounted patrol, one of the key factors is “desensitiza-tion” to sounds, sights and smells.

As with any new project, many hours of planning have gone into the structure of this unit. Polk County Sheriff Donald H. Hill, Lt. Michael Capps, Di-rector Don Lyons and Sue Truitt (training and development) met extensively to develop the format and criteria for this unit, as well as to establish budgets.

Lyons and Truitt met with the Henderson County Mounted Pa-trol for guidance as the Hender-son group has been in existence since 1994. Additional research led Lyons and Truitt to a Police Mount police program at Asbury University in Wilmore, Ky. As-bury University had performed at the 2010 World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Lexington, Ky.

This highly accredited pro-gram brings mounts to the As-

bury 341-acre farm as weanlings, and equine students train each of the horses for three years. At the completion of this three-year program, the horses are sold to a police department or a private citizen for use in community service.

Lyons and Truitt, along with their distribution team, trav-eled to Asbury University for a firsthand look at these trained mounts. As a result, three of the horses, Desi, Duke and Douglass, were purchased for the Polk County Sheriff’s Mounted Patrol.

Truitt, a John Lyons and Rich-ard Shrake certified trainer, said “We were impressed with the training and temperament of these horses. Although they are still young, they exhibit the traits required for mounted patrol.”

As part of the demo, Lyons and Tuitt rode the horses over and through various obstacles and watched as fireworks were fired in close proximity to the horses.

The preview party on Oct. 6 will offer hors d’oeuvres, bever-ages, silent auction items and chances to win a trough of wine. For ticket information, contact [email protected].– article submitted by Peggy Lyons
